I'm new into CPA/CPI and I believe this journey helps me to track my successes, mistakes and boost my experiences :)

Introduction:
I'm 21 years old freelance designer from Europe specialized in logodesign.

I read about CPA in 2016 and I was really curious about how it works. I started with CPA in February 2017 with only one account in blackhat niche. After month I didn't have enough time to take care about this so i quit but the account was still automatized.

In July I logged in and saw that I'm near payout minimum. I checked daily stats and this one account earns about 0,20-0,90 USD/day so I decided to jump back into CPA but now with more enthusiasm and more accounts :)

My Method:
I'm into Instagram and OGAds with common blackhat niche - I want to learn enough before trying my own things.

I'm going maximally safe.

- Using aged accounts
- No more than 2 accounts per IP
- Changing MD5 for every profile photo
- Little edits in bio so all accounts are similiar but unique
- One pre-lander per account
- Every account have unique shortened link

My Journey:
25.7.2017 - I bought 4 accounts, 5 proxies and automation software - with total 5 accounts I was earning about 1-2 USD/day
1.8.2017 - I bought and added 5 accounts - with total 10 accounts I was earning about 3-5 USD/day
8.8.2017 - I bought and added 7 accounts and 5 proxies - and here comes the problem - with total 17 accounts I actually earn about 2-3,5 USD/day and I don't know why :(

Everything is same as before - still using same follow settings, same targeting, similiar acc bio, simply all. Can someone please help me how to solve this earnings drop?

Future:
I want to continually increase earnings and number of accounts. No need to rush things.

Goals:
Ø $1/day for 3 days
Ø $2/day for 3 days
Ø $3/day for 3 days
O $4/day for 3 days
O $5/day for 3 days
O $6/day for 3 days
O $7/day for 3 days
O $8/day for 3 days
O $9/day for 3 days
O $10/day for 3 days

Actual numbers:
Accounts: 17
Proxies: 10
Niche: 1

Highest earning per day: $5,24

Now I need to improve settings for my 17 accounts and then I want to add 10 accounts per month. I will try to update as often as possible.

Good luck with your journey, I have 1 tip for you, try to find the best converting bio text which works for you, and then spin the words a bit so you will have high click through/conversion on every account!
